The Divani Palace Hotel, Corfu is a beautiful 4 star hotel, formerly part of the Hilton Group.
It has 162 rooms with a mix of double/twin rooms and triple rooms and 2 suites. Please
enquire about suite prices directly with the hotel.
Location: 10 minutes from Corfu International Airport and 10 minutes to Corfu Old Town
We have 40 rooms held until July 31st 2016, strictly on a first come, first served basis, but
more may be available if needed.
The price quoted is better than anything you will find online, and only available when
quoting ‘Al-anon’ when booking.
Breakfast and dinner are included for the convention weekend, on a buffet basis.
If you are staying before or after the event, please confirm if you want B&B or half board
for those nights when booking.
Rooms are either Lake/airport view, or garden view. The Lake/airport side gets the
afternoon sun, which may be too hot for sitting on the balcony, or it may be just what you
wish. The garden view rooms are quieter and have the morning sun.
The hotel are generously providing the two meeting rooms to us free of charge on a trial
basis for the first year. Please support the hotel by staying there for at least the 2 nights of
the convention so we may be able to continue the event into 2017 and beyond on the
same basis.
Please book directly with the hotel by telephone – 0030-2661 038 996,
or by email: [email protected] using the attached booking form
quoting Al-Anon as the booking reference to get the discounted prices.
Please ensure you confirm you are attending the Al-anon convention
when you book
There is a local bus service which stops outside the hotel, to the Old Town, but not from the
airport. Taxi from the airport is about €15.
Parking at the hotel is free of charge, with 60 spaces available.
